I got a "Short shirt of leaping" from a random loot pile...
Except it says it increases the dragonish skill when held.

I am using daggerfall unity 64bit win10 , with the persistent dungeons mod.

Any chance of a save file so we can look at the item data?

I have seen quite a few "items of leaping" that raise Dragonish, I just never paid much attention to them they usually end in my wagon or sold.

This is the same as classic. "Leaping" is the odd choice Bethesda put to "increase Dragonish" on magic items.

Someone may say that Leaping for Increase Dragonish and Venom Spitting for Levitate are classic Daggerfall bugs

I have a leaping wrap found by one of my test characters which casts levitate when used, so leaping is sometimes used for something sensible... wonder if it's specifically item of leaping is dragonish, rather than leaping item.

Looking at the magic item templates, there's only an entry for 'leaping item' and none for 'item of leaping' so I have no idea how it's being generated, unless it was imported from classic?

One of the UESP notes says:

The "Leaping" and "Venom Spitting" items were very likely misnamed by the developers. This error was fixed by a third-party patch.

I'd assume it was imported from a fixed version of classic.

Just seen on a DFU 0.11.0 stream, a shirt identified as a "Short Tunic of Venom Spitting" that "Cast When Used Levitate".
This is not an imported game. The streamer told me classic Daggerfall was installed using DaggerfallSetup.

I don't see this issue with DFU 0.11.0 and DaggerfallGameFiles for data. Try "add magic 100" a few times from console and checking each "of Venom Spitting" item added (will need to identify items first). These items are always "Enhances Skill Dragonish" for me.

The magic item templates in DFU are drawn from MagicItemTemplates.txt which is bundled JSON data. See index 1802 for "%it of Venom Spitting". It's definitely Enhances Skill Dragonish (7=Dragonish), not a Levitate spell.

The only way I can see this happening is if user has imported character from an unpatched version of classic. Our magic data just isn't configured any other way.


Of course, I'm happy to be wrong if it means something we can fix. I'm just not sure to reproduce as DFU should literally never generate an item that way.

Well, the whole run has been recorded on stream, so it's definitely not imported.
Would a game save, or anything else help diagnose the issue?
